[Opinions] Re: Why are Violet, Iris, Daisy and Rose traditionally used as girl’s names but Tulip, Peony, Marigold and Orchid aren’t?
I like Marigold, but some people might find the old ending unattractive. I think for Orchid it's just a bit weird to name a kid a word that sounds like it ends in kid. Tulip just sounds too much like two lips and Peony has the unattractive pee/toilet sounding beginning. I think the flower names that are more popular are softer and don't resemble other words that might not be a great association (except Violet sounding like violent).
